"The truth is that given the right chaordic (chaos & order)
circumstances from no more than dreams, determination and the
liberty to try, quite ordinary people consistently do
extraordinary things."
~ Dee Hock, from The Birth of the Chaordic Age
I agree with that statement because I see all around me in the
world innumerable individuals and groups of people come up with
dreams, plans and activism for a new world order, in reality the
advent of a new age in the evolution of humanity and of this
planet.

The Earth:
"Dear Robert, I am so glad that you raised the subject of
repairs. This is an important item for a family, for an
industry, for a building, for an entire nation. It is important
also for the biggest reality of all: the Earth, my nature. It is
a good beginning to replant trees, but this is only a tiny
aspect of the totality of repairs needed.
It is the same with conservation. Humans are seeing this only
from their egotistic, short-term point of view, namely to
preserve the elements they need for living and not from the
point of view of future generations and the fate of the living
Earth as a whole.
You must advocate a yearly true global comprehensive world
budget in which my needed repairs would be treated as repairs
and not included in the national product where they have no
place."
I:
Dear Earth, you are so right. The problem is that the dominant,
almost exclusive values are those of nations and big business
and not of the Earth. There is only the beginning of some
concern for the environment your nature. It seems that only
major catastrophes will bring about the needed changes.
The Earth:
"And by that time so much will have been destroyed unnecessarily
and blindly."

A planet with such an incredible, miraculous nature and life
forms with Beethovens, Mozarts and other great musicians
with Leonardo da Vincis, Raphaels and other great painters
with the Taj Mahl, Egyptian pyramids and so many other great
monuments with so many cathedrals and temples elevating their beauty and
prayers towards God
on a planet like this it is totally inconceivable, intolerable
that there should be any wars, armaments, nuclear missiles and
militaries endangering such a miracle. We must absolutely
eliminate these blemishes from our beautiful planet.

Chapter 3 - Of
Consciousness

Let your life flow. Let your thoughts
flow. Let your love flow. Let the will of God flow.
Do not be closed. Do not be hard and tight. Be open,
receiving, soft. Be a recipient lake of infinity and
eternity.

WORD
FOR THE DAY
Let your thoughts be global. The entire globe
has shrunk into a small village. In one day, you may
be wearing a British shirt, French glasses, a
Japanese watch. Then what country do you belong to?
~ Sri Swami Satchidananda

These were the ideas which came to me on my 78th birthday:
On each government's agenda, the overall most important item
should be: preservation, conservation and repairs of the Earth,
our precious planetary home;
The second should be: world peace and the demilitarization and
total disarmament of our planet.

Chapter 3 - Of
Consciousness

The whole Earth, you and I, we
manifest the essence of being. The more I "am", the
greater my consciousness, the more I fulfill my
reason for being. To fully be, that must be our
highest objective.

There is no such sense of solitude as that which we
experience upon the silent and vast elevations of
great mountains. Lifted high above the level of
human sounds and habitations, among the wild
expanses and colossal features of Nature, we are
thrilled in our loneliness with a strange fear and
elation - an ascent above the reach of life's
expectations or companionship, and the tremblings of
a wild and undefined misgivings.

More for world polls on democracy:
The almost total absence of world polls and UN statistics or
data on what the people want. The Gallup Poll on quality of life
is an exception.

We must open ourselves to every
potential, to everything we can be, to the vast
world out there, to the heavens, to God and to
eternity. To be one of the vastest, most
understanding, longest, fullest living cosmic units
in the universe, serenely and gratefully, that
should be our personal ideal and agenda.
